Need someone to make me a cable

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:03 am

Anyone want to make a few extra bucks? I need a 15-pin D-sub (you know, VGA) to 21-pin RGB (looks like Scart, but w/ a different pinout). Prefer it to be 4-5 feet long. Name your price.

send me some links to pinouts and such and i can make just about anything ( im very good with soldering electronics and working with wires) give me some info and i will just do it for actual material cost and ship, i like doing this stuff just for the experience. Let me know

is this what your looking to do?

but i think you will need this pinout for the scart

now got to find the 15 d sub

That is exactly what I want (w/ the Japanese 21-pin RGB pinout). This is probably an accurate pinout for 21-pin RGB...there are some differences between the one you posted and it. This seems to be the same as the one at RGB Hospice, so would definitely recommend not using the pinout at gamesxcom. In fact, I might email them and ask them about it. They seem unsure.

And also, it would need to be male to male. As for DSub connectors... I threw away two when I moved. I tried to dump them in the Trading Station, but nobody took. Had some SCART connectors as well. Bummer.

EDIT: Oh, you mean the pinout? How about this?

ok this looks easy i just need the male connectors i think i can use cat5e network cable or i can find something heavier if you prefer. i think mouser has the parts or partsexpress. i will try RS first just to see. i looked on the net and cant find one of these. all they have are rgb to scart. yours is the jap
pinout on the same connector as scart. im surprised you did not build this yourself, just so if there is a problem you can fix it quick with the tv there. is this for a supergun?

I've seen the VGA to Scart cable... I like the shape, but alas, the pinout is different.

im surprised you did not build this yourself,

Long story short... I'm grounded from soldering in the house, and have no other place to do it. I won't go too far into my marriage at this time.

is this for a supergun?

This is for a computer (Mame and other emus) w/ an Arcade VGA card connected to a Japanese Sony Wega TV. I've got an AV-Multi -> 21-pin RGB converter on order. All of my other machines will use the standard 21-pin RGB cables. Just need something for the emulators.

ok will look into this, just need the connectors and its a breeze

You're a rockstar!

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 3:36 pm

Gaijin, can you use a scart connector and just rewire the pinout to Jap? will the scart fit the same as the Jap? Thanks

Ok i can get all the parts easy, except that scart plug (if its the same)

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 4:25 pm

yes u can do exactly that... that's what i have been doing

scart and jpn rgb plugs are the same except for the pinout

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 4:56 pm

if worse comes to worse you can get a scart to scart and cut the end off and wire up the 15 pin rgb on the other end. but then i have to trace all the leads with a tester. where can i get a solder scart plug?

strider i see you have to jap rgb's for the sat, and play asia has them two that would be perfect for a cable. But i thing he might want something "fat" i can get some sick cable if i have to but i really nead that scart plug

you know maybe dlite might know where to get those, or he can build it, hell he is the best

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 5:57 pm

I just trashed 2-3 SCART connectors that I never got around to making. posted a "give me an offer" thread in the Trading Station and nobody took.

Strider might have a place in the US that sells them. A UK member of another board actually picked them up for me for a small fee.

found it, cheap to

I also read eliminating the one of the pins can help reduce ghosting(dont know if that just for euro scart though)

i can get the 15 pin locally and that scart from there all i have to do is pick some wire, i think the cat 5e is not going to be enough. but that wont be a problem. the main thing is the pinout, building it is easy but the pinout has to be correct. let me know what you want to do. also fyi i live in New York

lawnspic: Could you provide more details on that trick to reduce ghosting?

GP: What can this arcade VGA card do that a normal card can't? The obvious answer would be 15khz video, but I can make my video cards do that...

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 10:14 pm

i saw this on a site while doing research, i will have to try and find it

What's the issue? Are you concerned about the differences between the pinouts I found and you found? RGB Hospice site is run by a guy that makes RGB cables (I have some on order from him). I would bet my house that his pinout is correct.

Nothing then, that I know of. It has some standard resolutions used in Arcade games. It unfortunately does not support the standard SFC & PC-Engine resolutions for those emulators, but it supports one with 8 extra pixels. With some fidgeting, you can get a very acceptable picture with a letterboxed looking screen. There's some talk of it eventually here.

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 11:52 pm

just want to be sure, i want to reference at least a two or three other pinouts just to confirm. we are using the rgb pinout for the scart (the euro version has a set rgb pinout) just want to be sure for the jap. i want to do it right the first time. give me the go and i will order those parts.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 3:37 am

Yeah, definitely want Japanese Pinout. No Scart. I live nowhere near Europe, and never plan to.

As stated, this pinout, and this pinout which are the same, is what I be after.

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 5:01 am

ok im ready to order what you need, im on it

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 10:10 am

Word. Drop a line if something comes up.

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:40 am

I ordered the scart, and i picked up the 15pin Dsub with metalized housing. I'm having a dilemma as to what wire i should use. I can use cat5e cable, but i have to use two sections and braid it to get the 15 24awg wire i need. Problem is i need shielding, i can make it without it but you run the risk of interference.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:56 am

I'll leave it up to you. Whatever's easiest on you, but will work, of course. Matt used to use this 9-lead wire he bought from... damn, somewhere online.

MKL · Post by **MKL** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:24 am

Ther proper way to do this is to get a VGA cable, cut off the end that's not needed and put the scart plug in its place so you have a cable with individually shielded RGB conductors and not some ghetto shit.

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 12:28 pm

most cables dont have individual shielding, just shielding for the group. i want to make something custom, not just cut plugs off a cable unless i have to.

lawnspic · Post by **lawnspic** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:50 pm

Holy sh t that was quick, i got that scart just now from ups. I ordered it yesterday. Well i think im just going to get a VGA extension and cut one end because i dont think you are going to want me to go looking all over for shielding and wire braid wrap. Im going to PM you and give you my number, because i need some help matching up the pinouts.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 2:23 am

No worries man. PM away!

Just found this (finally) if anyone is interested, can also work with a Jap 21 pin as well(will find out soon for sure).
